SRT Suspends Eastern Line Services Due to Flooding
The State Railway of Thailand has halted train operations on sections of the eastern line following heavy rainfall and track inundation.
On September 27, 2026, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced the temporary suspension of train services across specific sections of its eastern railway line. This decision follows persistent heavy rainfall that has resulted in significant flooding along the tracks, rendering them unsafe for rail transit.
For residents and travellers, this disruption means that travel plans involving the eastern route may be significantly delayed or cancelled. Those currently holding tickets for affected services are advised to monitor official SRT announcements for updates regarding service restoration or potential alternative travel arrangements. The SRT has prioritized passenger safety by halting operations until the water levels recede and the tracks can be inspected for structural integrity.
At this time, the specific duration of the suspension remains unconfirmed, as it is contingent upon weather conditions and the speed at which floodwaters subside. Passengers are encouraged to contact the SRT customer service hotline or check their official social media channels for the most current information before heading to the station. As of now, there is no estimated timeline for when full service will resume on the impacted sections of the line.
